error messages

[Gail Swanger]

When I start up my PC I get the following messages which
are freezing my screens when I try to move from the
internet to windows.

TFTP 3016

TFTP 768

Both are followed by: To open this file windows needs to
know what program created it.

Dell has not been able to tell me how to fix this.

Thank You for any help anyone may be able to offer

That is a weird problem! Read this:

"Abbreviation of Trivial File Transfer Protocol, a simple
form of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). TFTP uses the
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)and provides no security
features. It is often used by servers to boot diskless
workstations, X-terminals, and routers."

Why does your PC think it's a server?
PS: when you are on the Internet, you are still in
Windows, so not sure exactly what you meant. By Windows,
did you mean a specific application? If so, which one?

These TFTP references could be a symptom of a virus. Scan this system with
an up to date antivirus program or one of the online scanners:
